God’s People Saved

A prayer of Habakkuk the prophet, according to 1Shigionoth.

2 LORD, I have aheard 1the report about You, and 2I was bafraid.LORD, crevive dYour work in the midst of the years,In the midst of the years make it known.In anger remember 3emercy.
3 God comes from aTeman,And the Holy One from Mount bParan.SelahHis csplendor covers the heavens,And the dearth is full of His praise.4 His aradiance is like the sunlight;He has rays flashing from His hand,And the hiding of His bmight is there.5 Before Him goes aplague,And bplague comes forth 1after Him.6 He stood and caused the earth to shudder;He looked and acaused the nations to jump.Yes, the everlasting mountains were shattered,The ancient hills 1collapsed.His paths are beverlasting.7 I saw the tents of Cushan under adistress,The tent curtains of the land of bMidian were trembling.
8 Did the LORD rage against the arivers,Or was Your anger against the rivers,Or was Your rage against the bsea,That You crode on Your horses,On Your dchariots of salvation?9 You removed Your abow from its holder,The arrows of Your word were 1sworn.SelahYou bdivided the earth with rivers.10 The mountains saw You and quaked;The downpour of waters swept by.The deep araised its voice,It lifted high its hands.11 aSun and moon stood in their lofty places;They went away at the blight of Your arrows,At the radiance of Your flashing spear.12 In indignation You amarched through the earth;In anger You 1btrampled the nations.13 You went forth for the asalvation of Your people,For the salvation of Your banointed.You smashed the chead of the house of evilTo uncover him from 1foot to neck.Selah14 You pierced with his aown 1arrowsThe head of his 2leaders.They bstormed in to scatter 3us;Their arrogance was like thoseWho cdevour the oppressed in secret.15 You atrampled on the sea with Your horses,On the bfoam of many waters.
16 I heard, and my 1inner parts atrembled;At the sound, my lips quivered.Decay enters my bbones,And in my place I tremble;Because I 2must cwait quietly for the day of distress,3For the dpeople to arise who will attack us.17 Even if the afig tree does not blossom,And there is no 1fruit on the vines,If the yield of the bolive fails,And the fields produce no food,Even if the cflock disappears from the fold,And there are dno cattle in the stalls,18 Yet I will atriumph in the LORD,I will brejoice in the cGod of my salvation.19 The Lord 1GOD is my astrength,And bHe has made my feet like deer’s feet,And has me walk on my chigh places.For the choir director, on my stringed instruments.
